The elegant brick house in Raleigh’s Country Club Hills rose quickly over the last several months. From initial concept to fully furnished showcase, the construction of the 6,000 square-foot, $1,999,900 residence on Granville Drive relied, as most high-end homes do, on an army of professionals.

But this time, those professionals aren’t profiting from their work. They’re donating it. Led by DJF Builders, which built the home, a group including the home designer, the realtor, and 18 individual interior designers have come together to benefit a nonprofit they believe in: Boys & Girls Clubs of Wake County. Together, the group expects to donate more than $300,000 to the cause.

“We wish we could do more,” says Dennis Fitzgerald, who had had visited similar charitable show homes along the East Coast with DJF designer Chrissy Gupton, and wanted to bring one to Raleigh. DJF Builders will contribute all proceeds from the sale of the home. “We couldn’t think of a worthier organization to benefit.”

The designer, Carter Skinner, also donated his work; the realtor, Sheri Hagerty of Allen Tate Realtors, is donating her entire commission; the interior designers (each of whom is designing a room) have contributed a fee and 10 percent of any sale of their design work. More than 30 other sponsors have contributed fabric, cabinetry, roofing, lighting, furniture, and more.

Adding to the charitable donation will be the sale of tickets to an opening night preview party on March 23, when the results of the collaboration will be on display. The house will also be open for ticketed tours Wednesday to Sunday in the two weeks to follow, when as many as 10,000 people are expected to visit.

The show home’s contribution will be a major boon to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wake County, says board chair Julian Williamson. The nonprofit will use the funds to boost the organization’s programs, he says, and to “position the Clubs for the next decade of service.” Boys & Girls Clubs currently serves 5,000 Wake County kids between 6 and 18 with after-school and summer programs including sports leagues, academic success programs, and character and citizenship programs. Williamson says nonprofits like Boys & Girls Clubs need to get creative with fundraising in order to keep up with the needs of a growing population and a changing philanthropic landscape. “The more and more we talked about (the show house), we decided it was the right thing to do.” The timing was ideal: This year, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wake County will celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Realtor Hagerty, who at press time was talking to a handful of interested buyers for the house, says that when DJF asked her to partner on the project, she jumped at the chance. “We started thinking about what Boys & Girls does for the youth in our community,” she says. “We want to give back.” Potential buyers of the house do too, she says. They’re excited to think that their purchase will contribute to the community. “The buyer ends up being a partner,” says Fitzgerald.

The buyer also gets the opportunity to live in a custom-built house with floods of daylight from ample windows and French doors, an open floorplan, four bedrooms, a cedar shake roof, and formal gardens designed by Raleigh’s Frank Liggett. “The inspiration was a New Orleans carriage style house,” says house designer Skinner. Designing it, he says, was “a wonderful opportunity to work with everybody on such a worthwhile project.”

The breakfast room by Martha Schneider of La Maison is glamorous, but also designed for “practical everyday use.” The focal points are a blush pink chandelier, gold console, and lamps.
